Ironically, I discovered the updated terms of service topic in relation to the API just before you replied and found my answer there. D’oh!

I think integrating store models into the API would be a good step forward. Though if you do, might I suggest that the seller can be given a choice if they want their content to be downloadable via API?

I don’t know, to be fair, since I don’t stand in those shoes. But who knows if someone prefers being able to choose. I’d try to get the sellers’ opinions on that, but I merely suggested it because I think having a choice is important.
